First Bar Disappeared @ 109 Miles...!!!

[BEEF]

it's not exactly the same motor....


(from wikipedia 1nz-fxe)

The 1NZ-FXE is the earliest 1.5 L (1497 cc) version built in Japan. Bore is 75 mm and stroke is 84.7 mm. It features forged steel connecting rods and an aluminum intake manifold. The engine has a high physical compression ratio of 13.0:1, but the closing of the inlet valve is delayed. The net result is that the engine has a greater effective expansion than compression—making it simulated Atkinson cycle, rather than the conventional Otto cycle.

The reduction in cylinder charge means reduced torque and power output, but efficiency is increased. This combination makes the 1NZ-FXE suitable for use with the Hybrid Synergy Drive, where peak torque and power are of less importance. Output is 57 kW (76 hp) at 5000 rpm with 115 Nm (85 lb·ft) of torque at 4000 rpm.

and the 1nz-fe....

The 1NZ-FE is a 1.5 L (1497 cc) conventional Otto cycle variant of the 1NZ-FXE. It has the same bore and stroke, but the compression ratio is lowered to 10.5:1, and it features VVT-i. Output is 80 kW (107 hp) at 6000 rpm with 141 Nm (103 lb·ft) of torque at 4200 rpm.

First bar usually lasts me 50-60 miles and I get around 33MPG regularly but I average 75MPH on the highway which isn't helping... 08 sedan 34k miles

on the other hand my '85 toyota pickup with the 22re is getting near 200miles on half a tank lol

In winter the first bar goes ~60 miles. 30-32 mpg

In summer the first bar goes ~71 miles. 32-35 mpg

This is driving 6.5 miles to work and 6.5 miles back.

On my trip to AK last summer driving in Canada (where i think they dont have ethanol) I was going 65 mph for long periods and getting 40-42 mpg. The first bar would drop at like 80 miles and the second at like 130.

77km first bar lol, not miles.

I drive pretty hard
